OUR VISION

Since 1993 Bike to the Sea has been working to create the Northern Strand Trail: a trail free of cars from the Malden/Everett area of Massachusetts to the beaches in Revere, Lynn and Nahant. That dream is now close to reality as portions of the trail are under construction.

25 Years of Work Finally Paying Off

For the past 25 years Bike to the Sea, Inc. has worked on creating the Northern Strand Community Trail, which now runs from Everett, through Malden, Revere, and Saugus and ends on the Lynn line. Plans are being made to continue the trail through Lynn and end at Nahant Beach.

A major focus of the group this past year has been to pave the one-mile Revere segment of trail, which is now covered in gravel. Once this is paved, riders from the North Shore will easily and safely pass under Route 1 on their way to Boston creating a truly regional bike trail on the scale of the popular Minuteman Bikeway that runs from Somerville to Bedford.
